Background

60 diesel engines have been incorrectly fitted with a dipstick tube and dipstick from the Opel Frontera. These items are 10 mm longer than those designed for the Saab but do not affect the function of the engine. If the parts for some reason are to be changed, the Opel dipstick cannot be used with a Saab dipstick tube and vice versa. Both parts must be changed or an incorrect oil level will be indicated.
